Ghost is a Japanese experimental rock band that has seamlessly interwoven elements of folk, psychedelia, and improvisational music into their sound. The group was formed in Tokyo in 1984 by Masaki Batoh, and they have become known for their hauntingly ethereal tunes and avant-garde performances. Throughout their career, Ghost has curated an eclectic catalogue, characterized by their willingness to explore the depths of musical experimentation.

Their discography is a testament to their evolution and willingness to challenge the boundaries of genre. From their eponymous debut album "Ghost" in 1990 to the atmospheric "Hypnotic Underworld" in 2004, the spiritual journey of "Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet" in 1999, and their intense "In Stormy Nights" in 2007, Ghost's work resonates with an otherworldly quality. Each release, including the poignant "Overture: Live In Nippon Yusen Soko 2006", is a chapter in their ongoing sonic narrative, fuelled by improvisation and a unique confluence of traditional Eastern sounds with Western rock influences. Though they have remained somewhat under the commercial radar globally, the insiders and enthusiasts of experimental music regard Ghost with great respect for their unwavering commitment to their artistic vision.
